Hi ya'll. As you may know, i passed my PPL (a) class 2 med at the post house, egkk yesterday (thursday). At 1:15, i arrived, had to fill out the form with info etc. Then, to begin the test, have a urine sample (lucky i was desperate - lol) and then went in to meet the doctor. I had a series of eye tests, reflexes, and an ECG as this is apparently necerssary on the 'initial' med! I had to be checked for heart rate on the ECG 4 times (which is common, not coz he was worried bout me) and he then took a blood sample. No, i didn't pass out!
He filled out the form, and that was that. Now , all i need to do is save like hell for my PPL in canada, victoria BC this July/aug and i'll be PPL holder at 16 (i am getting a provisional/preliminary license till they post my real PPL through the post to me in UK!
Smooth skies,
Dan :)
P.s - If FLYBOY reads thuis, can you respond as i would like to expand what you said in your response to my quaetion about my heart sister!
Many thanks :)

Good luck with it all.

Just a thought though... Shouldn't you have got a class one medical straight away? Or is there a lower age limit for class ones?

It would be a bit grim to find out you were medically prohibited from driving airbuses AFTER you'd already thrown lots of money at it!

Keep it up!

Wishing you all the very best for the future. It's a GREAT profession to be in. I'm just coming up to 34yrs of commercial flying and still loving every minute of it.
